Question: Why is the vein in my leg throbbing!?!? Not painful, but highly uncomfortable and annoying!
Hi, I am a 25 year old female who, for the most part, is pretty healthy (aside from IBS and panic disorder)!. On Saturday, I noticed a throbbing sensation in my leg, just above my knee!. I looked down and could actually SEE my vein throbbing every 3 seconds!. I figured it could possible be a muscle spasm (although I hadn't done any strenous physical activity), and thought it'd go away once I walked around!. It did for a while!. Until 4am this morning (Monday), when it started again and kept me from sleep!. It is now Monday at 3:20 PM, and the throbbing has been continous throughout the whole day!. The only things the internet tells of is vericose veins!. I am not a doctor, but I think I am pretty young for this, and there is no visible discoloration!. But, I'm not sure if that's always necessary!. But, as a hypochondriac, I did read about possible blood clots being in the veins, and, if they break loose, they could travel into the lungs, causing pulmonary embolism!.
I hate to be a hypo and think THAT'S a possibility, but I think it may be!. On the same hand, it's only something that has been occuring for three days now, so I'm not sure if it could be a temporary throbbing!.
It's just becommming incredibly annoying and uncomfortable and even as I type this, it is happening!. I get health insurance beginning tomorrow!. Is there any test a doctor can run!? Are these the symptoms of varicose veins or blood clots!? What can I do to cease the throbbing, if anything!? I appreciate your help!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
You don't usually get a throbbing vein with thrombosis, so I wouldn't worry too much about that!. Usually a vein protrudes or pulses because of increased blood flow to the area!. This can include physical activity and it doesn't necessarily have to be strenuous!. Another thing as you mentioned is varicose veins, they can throb and are fairly benign!. And yes even a muscle spasm can appear as a throbbing vein!. Feel free to seek a doctor's advice to put your mind at rest but I think you'll find that it really is nothing serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
